Stories are a powerful tool for changing opinions—but they can work both ways, @michaelrulrich.bsky.social reminds us at the SLULaw health law symposium. Have to understand how counterstories may work, bring stories + data to persuade. @busph.bsky.social

#Obergefell // Roe: @profmohapatra.bsky.social reminds us not to think the constitutional backstop will always be there. Diversify strategies: statutory protections anywhere we can get them and in any area of law.

I’m angry; you should be too. Call your member of Congress every day until they stop this hemorrhaging of scientific and clinical expertise. #Musk #Trump #Vought are making us less safer and making us sicker. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Anyone who thinks this attack on higher ed is going to stop with the humanities or courses on race and gender has another thing coming - Florida is already targeting classes on “Labor and Globalization” and “Introduction to East Asia” for removal from the curriculum

Kirsty Horsey delivers today’s keynote speech at “Governing Reproduction: Exploring Law and Politics”, speaking about British surrogates’ views on their experiences, the existing law and potential law reform.

I made a Bluesky “law professor starter pack” (plus some historians and law journalists) It’s a bit random - it’s limited to 150, so I picked the first 150 that popped up on my list. It’s a start! go.bsky.app/7tDuy8C

Assembling a cabinet from the people in your group chat is certainly a choice.

Dr Oz for CMS administrator, RFK Jr for Secretary of HHS -- what could go wrong ? 😩 Probably a good time to follow some health law professors - thanks to Stacey Tovino for creating this starter pack!

Me excitedly following everyone in the repro law profs starter pack that @dsc250.bsky.social created!

If you're interested in law and reproductive rights/justice, here's a starter pack of U.S. law profs working in the field. Very cool people - give them a follow! go.bsky.app/5bA6P1p

Under the new administration, we are likely to see significant attacks on core public health functions in the United States. We need to organize coast-to-coast to figure out how to stem the damage and keep our communities safe and healthy. forms.gle/f6zNci72JgrW...

Very exciting to celebrate the 75th anniversary of SMU Law School’s Legal Clinics. Amazing faculty and amazing students serve the community by serving clients who cannot afford legal representation. No better keynote speaker than Deborah Archer.
